3 Men on a Hillside
3 old men on the edge of a steep hill with little more to discuss
Man 1 used to be a lawyer,
Man 2 had met the maker of Tom Sawyer,
And Man 3 worked at a mere general store.
They talked for a bit about who ate the last chip,
But then,
Man 2 said to 1 “how did it feel to win a case and to know you beat the opposer who was right all along for the money”,
Man 1 said back “Don’t question my opinion”
Man 1 asked 2 “how can you be proud that you made your life's fortune from begging an author for money”,
Man 2 replied “I’m no worse than you”,
They got into a fight about who should feel good or bad about themselves,
But all you need to know is,
Man 3 stood on the steep hillside alone and fulfilled,
Having done nothing at all,
And laughed.
